摘要

Photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) with H2O2 (30%) and AgIALa(4)Ti(4)O(15) (A=Ca, Sr and Ba) as the photocatalysts were studied. Ag cocatalyst-loaded ALa(4)Ti(4)O(15) (A=Ca, Sr and Ba) were synthesized by incipient wetness. Reaction time, temperature and the amount of hydrogen peroxide were investigated as the important parameters for optimization of the reaction and a potential removal mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation was proposed. Ag (2 wt%)/CaLa4Ti4O15 and Ag wt%)/BaLa4Ti4O15 were found to give remarkable catalytic activity and high selectivity for catalytic experiments. Actually, 99.0% and 98.0% of DBT were converted respectively according to the desulfurization tests. Moreover, these two catalysts were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS).
